offer service without knowing my customer

unless they want me to know them for other reasons (account recovery, involvement/surveys, etc.)

and reservations I guess

though I can discard reservation verification information as soon as the matching key is received

accept payment by mail

etc.

what scares me is that I saw an english ad for seseme credit while watching sling tv....

the idea of a social credit score like that disgusts me

Eh, the idea isn't really that radical

It already exists

just in smaller groups

social ranking in an innate human behavior

it's just that the state insists that resistance to the state is a demerit

credit scores are already a pretty good measure of "social credit"

but when whether or not you buy pornography, and how many times a year you criticize the state are variables

you kinda taint the score

My guess is that as they force Chinese businesses to use the score, they will build up to a financial crisis.

because loyalty to the state is not a good predictor of financial creditworthiness

messing with creditworthiness is a major exacerbating factor of the 2008 financial crisis

it also would include stuff like how your brother tweeted a pro trump statement so therefore you must lose social credit score, which is used to control you via numerous angles

part of the corporate gulag

well, the problem is that using the score for too many things will destabilize them

I think there is hope that it is self-limiting

i.e. if they want to keep sesame credit, it'll actually need to have some utility

otherwise it will collapse the economy

seriously

negative reviews of a corporate product or speaking negatively about democrats or their policies could cause the same of course

the problem is that those are not good predictors of creditworthiness

they are not meant to be. They are for control

so companies forced to rely on a score based largely on those determinations will fail

do what we want or lose access to services you need

seriously

I'm sure that's their intent

but that doesn't mean they'll succeed

low enough of a score and that will impact having a job, getting food, using communications platforms, getting a place to live, transportation and having a bank account

corporate gulag

lol, this is what trying to stop someone with non-violence looks like. Trying to attack someone with a shopping cart like a fucking homeless person.
